Keynote 'Temu Demystified' @SCORE! 2024

In May 2024, at the Score! 2024 conference in Zürich, Switzerland, ChinaTalk's Ed Sander delivered a keynote on the Chinese webshop Temu.
Ed explained the background and business model of Temu, why it sells products so cheaply (or does it?) and what the potential dangers are for Western retailers. While Ed debunks a few myths about Temu he thinks there's still enough to worry about Temu and our own behaviour...

Hey Ed, great talk. You ask: "Who's buying all this shit?" Connecting some dots here, one of the driving forces of climate change is consumerism. So here's a possible theme for another talk. love ya

@@takefman one of the main forces is nature and natural cycles.

This just sounds like an improvement on the model Amazon already built except Chinese.
Which like yeah that's not great for consumers but neither was Amazon lol.
